Finally made my way over to Addison today to try Cattelack BBQ. They are only open on Thursdays and Fridays from 11 - 2. So, it's not too convenient. Anyway, I guess because it's spring break for some, there was hardly a line and at some times while we were eating, there was no line. I ordered 1/2 pound of moist brisket, one pork rib, one jalapeño and cheddar sausage and one spicy Texas sausage.

First thing up was the pork rib. It's a dry rib with a sweet rub. It was cooked perfectly and was a really nice looking rib. Next up was the brisket, which I had hoped would be the star of the show. To my surprise, I was a bit disappointed. It was really dry and lacked a good smokey flavor that I yearn for. The rub surprised me, as it had some heat to it. I'm not sure what it was, but I've never had brisket that was spicy before. I didn't really care for it. The sausages were pretty good, but nothing to write home about. Since everything but the ribs was just kinda "meh", I decided to give their bbq sauce a try. I'm a bit of a BBQ purist. So I don't use sauce on much of anything. I've gotta say, this sauce is pretty awesome. Once I tasted it, I dipped everything in it to let vendors things up. It a pretty thin sauce with a little heat to it.

Overall I would give it a 3 out of 5. I don't know that I would make a special trip to Addison for it again, but if I find myself in the area, I'd probably go again and just pass on the brisket.

just am amazed at the price of things....I know the restaurant business is a tough one to make a living at but prices are sure high... probably most everywhere, and the ranchers however on the plus side, looks like they sell American owned and made bourbon though...
